Attention Energy Drink Fans: Caffeine pills are $4 for a bottle of 100 at Walmart. Paying $2 for a nickel's worth of caffeine mixed into a can of toxic waste and a dash of totally worthless vitamins makes you the very definition of a consumer whore.

So parents are supposed to control what their adult children consume now?

An adult drank 2 cans a day of something that is legal and easily purchased at any convenience store or grocery store in the country.... and this is the mom's fault?

I don't know that 2 cans a day of an energy drink can kill you - my guess is that there were other causes involved, and I"m pretty sure I drink more than that much caffeine every day considering the amount of coffee I drink - but this headline is retarded.

What do you want to bet, she only fed him nutritious meals from McDonald's and Jack in the Box starting around age 2.

You can actually eat marginally healthy at both places if you judiciously chose your menu items and portion sizes. You'll still be high on the salt intake, but nothing that excess water cannot take care of.

But who am I kidding, letting your kid drink 2 of these things a day is asking for a death wish so chances are high she lacked the rational ability to think through actions vs consequences.

Everyone knows if you want a real kick, just buy a preworkout mix. Ends up being cheaper and you get a helluva lot more stimulants!

You can also get a Salad at the Varsity in Atlanta, but 99% go for the Chili Dogs and Chili Burgers, washed down with a Frosted Orange and Fried Pie.

As this 40 year old peers over the 16 oz cup of coffee that just barely gets him going, I'm going to have to say I don't think this girl died from a three year old, 320 mg daily caffeine habit. Either there was something wrong with her heart, or she was ingesting something else.

He drank it for 3 years, so he was 16 when he started, and unless he was a huge shiathead who got kicked out, odds are he was living at home under her supervision until at least 18.

jfivealive:I've had a Mountain Dew Amp energy drink, redbull, or now the new Mountain Dew Kickstart energy drinks at least once a day for the last like 6 years. Should I be worried?

We'll just to be safe go tell the loved ones you'll leave behind not to sue any corporations that may have sold you a dangerous product sold as an "energy" drink. Cause that would make them total jerks.

I've had two a day for about six months once. Had to stop because it tore up my stomach. I also know people who drink nothing but energy drinks during the day and alcohol at night and I know of no problems with their health. I think there may have been an unknown health problem that the son had and/or the mother is looking for a payday.

Hell no. While they're at it they can sue Camel, Budweiser, McDonalds, Wendys, Taco Bell, Five Guys, and my wife.

That right there can and will be used against her in the court assuming this goes in front of a judge. They have a warning label and it is clearly visible. The only stupid argument against that is it does not tell you to see a Doctor before drinking.

/partly serious.. partly joking. You pick which is which.

It will go before a judge. It's California, a wrongful death suit that can be blamed on an evil corporation, even though Monster really isn't at fault, they'll lose.
